Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

When he received the news of the death of the Sandaime Hokage, Jiraiya didn't feel much sadness or sorrow. He was silent for less than a minute, and then continued to sit on the tatami in the hotel, leaning in front of the desk and continuing. pen plowing.

Everyone must die,

The old man is already over 60 years old. Compared with the average lifespan of previous Hokages, he has lived long enough. It is not a bad thing to die at this time. There should be a new Hokage to bring something different to Konoha. .

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go back to the village.

It was not for the position of Hokage, that was not his ambition. He returned to the village just to check some things and meet some people.

August, also known as the Leaf Moon and the Autumn Wind Month, according to the official calendar of the Fire Country, this is the month when summer and autumn change, from hot to cold. However, it is a pity that the climate in Konoha is still hot. Jiraiya returned to the village Feeling sorry for the harsh sunlight, I went to the Yamanaka flower shop and bought a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. I walked around the cemetery twice and found the small tombstone belonging to the Sandaime Hokage.

Jiraiya knew that this was just a tomb.

The corpses of ninjas are of extremely high value, otherwise there would be no such institution as the Corpse Disposal Team. As Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Third Hokage, his corpse is naturally of great value, and it is impossible to just bury it in Konoha openly. In the cemetery, the bodies of past Hokages were buried secretly, and only a handful of people at the top of the village knew where they were buried.

Jiraiya, who was just a tourist away from home, was not qualified to know such secrets. Of course, if he was willing to return to the village, all the secrets in the village would be opened to him after he succeeded the Fifth Hokage, but he rejected this option. That’s all.

There are many cemeteries like this in the cemetery.

Basically, these tombs were erected to comfort the living in the village and give them another place to rest their souls. At the same time, they were also used to confuse spies and those with malicious intentions.

Offer white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone,

Jiraiya stopped moving. He had nothing to say to his dead teacher. Coming here was just a simple visit to the grave. It was fulfilling his obligations as a disciple. Even this place did not belong to Hiruzen Sarutobi. The actual cemetery doesn't matter either.

Just as he was beginning to think about where to go next, visitors arrived in droves.

They were not strangers, Hinata Hizashi and Nara Shikaku, although their age and seniority were different, they both had a lot of dealings with Jiraiya during the Third Ninja War.

"Jiraiya-sama, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your style remains the same!"

Nara Shikaku's attitude was very respectful.

"Shikaku, you look a lot more haggard, and you have grown a beard, and so does Hiashi. You... are not the brats you used to be!" Jiraiya looked at the two people in front of him, filled with emotion. He sighed, a new generation replaced the old ones. The memory of fighting side by side with the previous generation of Hyuga clan and Nara clan chiefs in the Second Ninja War was still vivid in his mind. Now the people standing in front of him were no longer his former comrades. .

"My son is five years old."

Nara Shikaku said helplessly.

Hinata Hinashi didn't say a word. His daughter was also five years old, but of course they were all juniors in front of Jiraiya.

"Haha! That's it! Speaking of which...Naruto is almost five years old, right?" Jiraiya said thoughtfully. He had only seen Naruto as a baby.

Five years ago, when he was traveling abroad, he received the news of Minato's death. When he returned to the village in a hurry, he found that he was too late and everything was irreversible. Minato and Kushina both died, and Sarutobi-sensei returned to the Hokage. In this position, only the infant Naruto was left lying in the nursery of Konoha Hospital.

Looking at the energetic Sarutobi teacher who had put on the Hokage hat again, Jiraiya felt very depressed, but he could not do anything. The Sandaime was always his mentor, and the Sandaime was the one who had been killed that night during the Nine-Tails Rebellion. It's not that he didn't make any contribution. On the contrary, he arrived late and didn't accomplish anything.

His gloomy mood made it impossible for him to stay in the village. He refused the Sandaime's request to stay. After confirming that Naruto, who was still a baby, was well taken care of, he left the village again and continued his endless journey.

until this time,

After Sarutobi-sensei passed away, Jiraiya re-planned his journey and returned to Konoha.

"Naruto, is he okay? Have you gone to ninja school?" Jiraiya asked casually, but this simple question was not answered immediately. Hinata and Hinata showed it with a stern face, which was none of their business. Nara Shikaku couldn't avoid the attitude of being hung up. Who made the current fifth generation acting Hokage Mr. Tofuu? It would be too false for him to say that he didn't know about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

After waiting for two seconds, there was no sound.

Jiraiya frowned slightly and stared at Nara Shikaku with a bitter look on his face, "Shikaku, did something happen to Naruto?"

"That's not true. Naruto...is not in the village right now." Nara Shikaku replied bravely.

"Not in the village?"

Jiraiya repeated such an incredible answer, what does it mean that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is not in the village?Suddenly I remembered that the village and the Mist Ninja were at war again. Could it be that Naruto, who was only five years old, was sent to the front line?

"Shikaku, tell me, Naruto, where is he?"

"Well, if nothing else goes wrong, he should be following the Uchiha clan leader in the Kingdom of Water now." Nara Shikaku replied.

"The country of water?"

Jiraiya raised his eyebrows, with a hint of anger in his eyebrows.

"Shikaku? Don't tell me that the situation in the village is not optimistic enough that the five-year-old Kyuubi Jinchuuriki needs to be sent to the battlefield. Tell me clearly, what is going on?"

Nara Shikaku's forehead was sweating, and he was complaining in his heart. What is happening?Aren't they here to ask Jiraiya-sama for his opinion?Why do you have to be questioned by Jiraiya-sama, and it's such a subtle thing.

If Jiraiya-sama is not a disciple of the Sandaime, then he can tell everything that happened to Naruto, but who made Jiraiya-sama a disciple of the Sandaime?He didn't know the emotional problems between the Sandaime and Jiraiya's master and disciple, even if he saw something fishy.

But as the saying goes, just because I can say something bad about him does not mean that others can also accuse him of his mistakes.

If Jiraiya-sama feels that they are passing the responsibility to the dead Sandaime, that is a situation Nara Shikaku definitely does not want to see.

"The situation is more complicated. In short, Naruto was not forced to leave the village, and to be honest, it would be safer for Naruto to stay with the Uchiha clan leader..." Nara Shikaku racked his brains, thinking about it. Can you avoid those 'minefields'?

Jiraiya's brows furrowed even more as he listened.

"Senior Jiraiya, let me do the talking!"

Hinata Hinashi, who originally planned to watch, stretched out his hand to help Nara Shikaku out. Nara Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at Hinata Hinashi.

"Hizu, tell me what's going on?" Jiraiya changed to a more affectionate name. Nara Shikaku's attitude made him realize that Naruto's matter was not as simple as he imagined. The situation feels complicated.

"This matter... is indeed quite complicated."

Hinata Hinata pondered for a moment, sorted out the messy clues, and then asked: "Jiraiya-sama, I wonder if you know that the Sandaime covered up the fact that Naruto is the fourth generation's child?"

"I know."

Jiraiya nodded, "The old man told me that in order to protect Naruto's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki's identity from being leaked, he planned to change Naruto's surname to avoid being discovered by his name as Naruto's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. Speaking of Li’s identity, what is Naruto’s current surname?”

Hear this question,

Hinata Hiashi and Nara Shikaku looked at each other and saw similar surprise in each other's eyes.

"It's Uzumaki, Uzumaki Naruto."

Hinata Hinashi replied.

"swirl?"

Zilai was also surprised.

Changing from Namikaze to Uzumaki?

What magic operation is this?

Are you afraid that others won't know that Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki?The two generations of Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in Konoha Village are all members of the Uzumaki clan. Especially after the fall of the Uzumaki Kingdom, the surname Uzumaki has become so rare that it is even more conspicuous than the surname Namikaze, okay?

"The name is..."

"It was chosen by the Sandaime five years ago. If you are right, it happened shortly after you left the village, Jiraiya-senpai." Hinata Hizashi did not stop, but continued: "It is very unfortunate, ANBU The confidentiality work was not done well. I don’t know when there was a rumor in the village that Naruto was a 'demon fox'. Now, almost the ordinary people in the village believe that Naruto is the incarnation of the demon fox that destroyed the village five years ago. .”

He also closed his eyes.

He is not a fool.

He clearly understood the hidden meaning of Hinata Hizashi's words. Naruto's life did not seem to be as comprehensively taken care of as he imagined. It would be better to say it was the opposite. What would happen to a child who was accused of being a 'demon fox'? childhood······

He did not doubt the truth of what Hinata Hiashi said.

He didn't think Hinata was brave enough to deceive him. Even though these words may contain subjective opinions, the fact that Naruto was regarded as a demon fox was probably not false. When he was writing, he would occasionally Thinking of Naruto, imagining Naruto who grew up happily under the careful care of the village, guessing whether he will be more like Minato or more like Kushina when he grows up?

However, reality ruthlessly shattered all his illusions. ?

"Then what does all this have to do with Naruto being sent to the Kingdom of Water?" Jiraiya did not continue to ask about Naruto's life. He had already returned to the village. He was ready to personally understand Naruto's life in the village. , now the focus is still on why Naruto is not in the village, but in...the Kingdom of Water?
